RE: URGENT: INCOMPLETE RECOVERY

If she's doing an incomplete recovery, she'll never get far enough in
recovery to apply current redo log from the source.....

Paula,

I know you said you were sure about begin/end backup on everything, but,
check your alert.log. Does it have any messages about "fuzzy"
datafiles? If so, you missed a begin/end backup somewhere.

Also, make sure you ended backup on all datafiles:
select distinct status from v$backup;

The above should return a single line:
NOT ACTIVE
Finally, if none of that works, please post the exact text of the error
message you're getting.

-Mark

Subject: Re: URGENT: INCOMPLETE RECOVERY
have you tried copying the current redo log from the source and applying
it to the clone?

This should be a simple clone and I have done it a million

files is difficult especially when you don't have the space readily
available to clone to.
So here I am exhausted trying to bring a database open after
incomplete recovery. I have checked and double-checked that I have done
a begin backup...cp,,,end backup on each datafile, have a controlfile
and database in mounted stated, have all the logs - in fact, apply logs
that I know were created far after the backup.
mounted database
recover database using backup controlfile until cancel
endless applying of archive logs
I cannot open the database with resetlogs. I cannot open it at
all. I am getting that error that not all my files are in-synch. sigh.
Any good ideas out there - maybe I just need another set of
eyes. :)
Thanks,
Paula
